“Hi again! This is Mat calling with some good news. We were able to make a cache at a higher elevation yesterday, so today we’re going to move up and establish ourselves at ‘14 Camp’. The weather looks good for today and tomorrow. In fact, today is going to be a scorcher on the mountain. There’s not a cloud in the sky and absolutely no wind. It’s going to be a sunscreen and t-shirt day for sure! Changes in Latitude (the team name) has very high spirits and we’re all very excited to all be on the move again. We saw Richard and Mary’s team while they were going down, and they gave us some extra fuel and supplies. We’ll call you from higher up. Thanks for the messages everyone!”
